How does Weihui Mansion get along with the surrounding area, Guo Dan really didn't think of a perfect way to solve it, and suddenly an outlier appeared, which was incompatible with the surrounding system, and how to integrate into it, which was indeed very nerve-wracking.

Guo Dan's previous method was to seek common ground while reserving differences, and while maintaining each other's principles, they could try to get in touch.

Because Guo Dan has no way to change the state capital, he doesn't have the strength to break the entire system, and it is already very good to be able to do the tip of the iceberg, and he actually only needs one Weihui Mansion.

But even if you guarantee the tip of the iceberg, it is easier said than done.

It's been a very long and difficult road.

"Don't go that way, go this way."

The two talked for a while, and were about to continue on the road when your father-in-law suddenly pointed to the side of the path.

Guo Dan was surprised: "Why? Is there anyone in the way? ”

Your father-in-law waved his hand: "Hey, who dares to stop it now, mainly because the son of a county lord in front of him is dead, and he is very unlucky." ”

"The county lord's son?" Guo Dan was curious: "Is it because of illness?" ”

"No, starvation."

"Hungry... Starving? ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "The son of this county lord will also starve to death?" ”

"It's too much, how many won't starve to death in these years"

Seeing Guo Dan's shocked expression, your father-in-law said that he was curious, and asked, "Don't you know?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head, he really didn't know much about this.

Your father-in-law explained it to him.

It turns out that this matter has to start from the Jiajing period, in the Jiajing era, the entire ruling class, including the emperor was aware of the danger of the vassal king to the country, so the famous "Zong Vassal Regulations" were issued at that time, which strictly restricted the vassal king, and even restricted births.

And one of them is to stipulate that the descendants of these vassal kings ask for knighthoods and confer titles, which must be decided by the Ministry of Rites, however, with the increasing financial constraints of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites has become more and more strict about this card.

The vassal kings who did not get the title had no state support, let alone citizenship, and they could not work on their own, not to mention that they could not do it, nor were they allowed to do it by the imperial court, and they were not even allowed to go out of the door, and the other vassal kings, even his relatives, could not be contacted, and could only starve to death at home.

"I see." Guo Dan nodded slightly, only to feel that this was really a tragedy, he was born alive, young and strong, and was starved to death like this, and asked: "In this case, why did I find that many of the funds were allocated to the vassal king when I helped the household department count the expenditures last time." ”

Your father-in-law just sighed: "There are many poor people, and there are many rich people." ”

It turns out that this "Zong Fan Regulations" is a symptom but not a cure, and it has no restrictions on the land given by the imperial court to the vassal king, just like Zhu Yihua, the king of Lu, Wanli is given to death, and it is impossible for him to starve to death.

Originally, everyone was good, but this "Sect and Vassal Regulations" only made the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty polarized, dying of drought and waterlogging.

Guo Dan saw that his father-in-law didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask more, but in fact, he had been thinking about this issue all the time, such as corruption in the court, and Ma Zheng had to be abolished, he didn't care too much, because corruption and corruption can also stimulate consumption, as far as the salary of Ming Dynasty officials is concerned, if they are not corrupt, who will have the money to buy horses.

However, the vassal kings really directly affected the economic development, because the feudal kings could not get out of the feudal land, and most of the land and money given to him were confined to the feudal territory and had no effect on the national economy, however, they occupied a large amount of property.

For example, Guo Dan helped Wanli make money, and Wanli took it out to King Lu, and once King Lu entered the domain, the money could not come out, and there was no way to generate any value. If Wanli is the imperial concubine, purchasing jewelry and building a palace, it is equivalent to using the money.

This is very fatal for commercial development, because the economy lies in circulation, whether it is corruption or robbery, the money must be used, and if it is not taken out, it will be over.

This may also be the only problem that Guo Dan sincerely hopes to help the imperial court solve.

But this problem is very complicated, even Zhang Juzheng has not solved it, Guo Dan, a political novice, wants to solve it, how easy is it!

After a few more days, they came to Dehong County, the northernmost part of Weihui Mansion.

The scale of production in Hongxian County is not as good as Ji County, nor as good as Xinxiang, the main industry here is the service industry, because the goods transported to the capital are almost all going to this side, and there are many hotels and restaurants.

As soon as he entered the country, he encountered several soldiers who were interrogating a group of civilians who had secretly entered the country from Zhangde Mansion.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

Your father-in-law asked.

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with me, they won't listen to me, what did I do in the past." ”

Your father-in-law was stunned and chuckled: "If you don't say it, I really think of you as the prefect of this Weihui Mansion." ”

"Don't."

Guo smiled lightly: "I am just an ordinary small businessman. ”

I added in my heart that this pot is definitely not carried back.

He stayed in Hong County for two days to inspect the local economic development.

Nowadays, the problems of Weihui Mansion are mainly concentrated in the border, the reason is very simple, this person goes to a high place, the water flows to a low place, and he does not have to pay taxes in Weihui Mansion, which causes the surrounding people to want to come to Weihui Mansion, especially during this time, because the news has spread, and Weihui Mansion is like heaven.

But this is not the case, mainly a matter of habit, many people are still not used to this way of collective work, during the period of Guo Dan's departure, there have been brawls in various workshops in Hongxian County, the quality is not high, and there is no collective consciousness of the people, is a word to start fighting.

The merchants are not very good at management at the moment, and they are basically handed over to the court for judgment, but those squires have been very addicted to officials. As for the internal punishment of the workshop, it is to be directly fired, because now everyone is not short of manpower, which is a deterrent to many people, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and now the people have no land, and if they don't work, they will have no food.

This problem also led the court to revise the law, because there is no government, and the court and the picket court have no money, how can there be such a good thing as going to prison, and you are raised for free, and you want to be beautiful, and almost no one who violates the law goes to prison, so he is responsible for transporting the manure in the city to the countryside.

Because the people were all gathered, it was also a problem for the city to be clean, and many people who secretly came to Weihui Mansion were hired to do this first.

Guo Dan's arrival made many people look forward to it, and like that noble father-in-law, they regarded Guo Dan as a leader, but Guo Dan just listened and did not make any decisions.

He's not a god after all, it's not something he's good at, and everybody is trying to figure out how to solve these problems right now, no matter what the effect is, but as long as everybody is doing it, that's what he wants to see.

Guo Dan believes that from the individual to the collective, this needs a run-in period, we need to learn to tolerate each other, and we must take into account both private morality and public morality.

After three more days, Guo Dan finally arrived in Ji County.

And Zhou Feng and Qin Zhuang are already looking forward to it in the suburbs, this Guo Dan has just arrived, they surrounded Guo Dan and asked about the capital, there is a trace of complaint in this tone, because when Guo Dan left, he didn't tell them anything, which made them very angry.

They are all shareholders of Yaxing, and they absolutely have the right to know that such a big thing has happened and threatens their lives.

It's just that businessmen are also very concerned about the overall situation, and they can still endure it for the sake of money.

Guo Dan also apologized to them very sincerely, saying that there would never be a next time, and also explained why he didn't say goodbye at that time, the reason was that he didn't know, and he was worried that it would affect Weihui Mansion, after all, Weihui Mansion had just stabilized.

After that, he told them what happened in the capital, 1510.

"Virtuous nephew, forget it this time, but if this kind of business is like this, don't take it in the future, we would rather not make this money."

Zhou Feng waved his hand again and again, and his attitude was very resolute.

"Brother Zhou is right, this is actually not a deal we should do." Cao Dazhi nodded.

Everyone else also has this attitude, including Qin Zhuang, who made a lot of money from this transaction, and they are not willing to take this deal again.

This kind of business should be done by people with backgrounds in the system, and if they do it, they may go to prison if they make a mistake.

Guo Dan had already expected it, and after listening to them patiently, he said: "Everyone knows me, I will weigh the pros and cons of every transaction, if the risk is too high and the profit is too low, I will never do it."

I also explained at the time, why did I take this deal, I didn't plan to make much money from this deal, I was planning for the future, but I didn't expect that there would be this kind of accident, if there was no Weihui Mansion today, I would never take this kind ......of deal again. ”

Zhou Feng said excitedly: "Don't accept it, we are investing so much money now, it is a requirement for stability, but we can't be so radical ......" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Guo Dan and said, "Virtuous nephew, what do you mean by this... You're not going to pick it up again, are you? ”

Guo Dan laughed and said: "Those who know me are also outsiders." The imperial court has decided to contract the armaments of the entire Liaodong border army to us. ”

When Zhou Feng heard this, his face became pale as soon as he brushed it, and he sighed: "Virtuous nephew, how can you be like this, I won't agree without consulting us in advance." ”

"I'm not going to say yes."

"If you want to do it alone, you must not participate."

.....．

This is really a change of color, and everyone shakes their heads like rattles.

Guo Dan, who is in the capital, doesn't know how they are doing these days, their hair is really a lot grayer, and if they are a little careless, God knows what the consequences will be.

As businessmen, they don't ask Guo Dan how much money he has lost, that is to say, they all admit the loss, as long as it does not involve his life.

Do you still pick it up?

It's a joke on my life!

In fact, they don't care about them, in the official-based society, the old man can make them bankrupt and ruined if they get a word, and they think that no matter how high the profit is, it can't cover this risk.

"Don't be too busy refusing yet, if you do, I'll definitely listen to your opinions."

Guo Dan raised his hand and pressed it, and when everyone was quiet, he said: "As I just said, if there is no Weihui Mansion, I will definitely refuse, but because of the existence of Weihui Mansion, we need the order of the imperial court very much." ”

Duan Changcun asked, "Why is this?" ”

Guo Dan explained: "If you think about the current production scale of Weihui Mansion, how many people we raise, even if it stops for one day, it is very uncomfortable, and this order of the imperial court, relatively speaking, is very stable, because this involves the border army of Liaodong, and the number is very large, involving a lot of industries, with these orders in hand, we have no worries." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

From the point of view of interests, although the Mongols over there gave Weihui a very good start, it was not stable enough, and if Weihui wanted to develop further, it would have to need more and more stable orders.

Because the scale of production is too large, and it was built in a day, not driven by market demand, this is indeed a hidden danger.

Guo Dan said: "As for your worries, I can understand it very well, but I don't think there is any need to worry too much. This is impossible, the risk of contracting Weihui Mansion is much greater than that of buying and selling. Besides, this accident was originally our responsibility, we didn't do a good job, so that the other party had a chance, but if we did a good job, the other party would have no chance, and the court was not making things difficult for us. ”

Qin Zhuang sighed: "What the virtuous nephew said, don't we know, but this transaction involves the army, and if something goes wrong, it will cost us our lives." ”

"It depends on what went wrong."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "If it is a very malicious act, such as cutting corners because of bribery, it may lead to a lawsuit, but if it is an ordinary accident, we only need to compensate according to the contract, and the same is true for the imperial court. ”

Cao Da was surprised: "Your Majesty really promised?" ”

"Of course."

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Regarding our contracting of Liaodong armaments, it is still on the verbal agreement, and it has not yet been officially signed, and I will write down the risks very clearly at that time, and Your Majesty will personally approve it." ”

"It's not officially signed yet, so... Okay, we can also think about it. Zhou Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "If you really oppose it, then I won't accept it, but you have to think about it, the armament of the entire Liaodong Border Army, how huge the number is, this is a perfect match for our Weihui Mansion." ”

The old man of Qin Zhuang nodded silently, he has the largest textile and the most people, and this transaction can indeed save him a lot of worries, but at the same time, he will have a lot of worries.

Although Zhou Feng and they are dry restaurants, they have to rely on Qinzhuang and them, if these workshops have no business, his restaurant will not be able to have business.

It's up to them to weigh it.

After talking about it, they remembered the question of money, so the group of people asked as they walked into the city.

Although they lost a lot, they only accounted for thirty percent, and they didn't lose a lot of money, and the worst loss was Guo Dan, who was the Kou family.

"By the way, I heard that you recruited a lot of people from other state capitals, and I remember I said that recruiting people depends on household registration." Guo Dan asked suddenly.

After settling accounts with him, Guo Dan also has to settle accounts with them.

As soon as these words came out, the wealthy businessmen in the capital who had just asked non-stop suddenly kept silent and looked around.

"Why don't you speak?"

Guo Dan's eyes swept away.

Duan Changcun said: "Virtuous nephew, you really can't blame us, now the household registration is very chaotic, and we are not in this business, where can we tell the truth from the false." ”

"The courts eat?" Guo Dan snorted.

"There are rules about this." Zhou Feng nodded sneeringly, and said: "But when we recruit people, the court will not be watching, how can they have so many people, and we can't take every household registration and send it to the court for appraisal." ”

Duan Changcun added: "And virtuous nephew, you don't know, there are some jobs, you really can't recruit people, someone is willing to do this, that... Then we can't say no. ”

Guo Dan said angrily: "You said it lightly, but how can I explain to those old men, I can't control anything, and the responsibility is all on me." ”

Cao Da immediately said: "I'll just say that this is very inappropriate, the virtuous nephew shouldn't have any court, you should have the final say, we all support you." ”

"Alright, alright."

Guo Dan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I'll think about this matter again and see how to deal with it." ”

Chatting and chatting, they came to the city gate, and it was the familiar scene again, where the crowded convoy was blocked.

"Wow! It's still so blocked! Guo Dan wiped his sweat.

Qin Zhuang smiled bitterly: "These days are good, but the days ago were even worse." ”

Cao Da said: "By the way, virtuous nephew, when you go back this time, have you mentioned this issue to Your Majesty, that is, to tear down this city wall." ”

"Do you think I still have the time to think about this?"

Guo Dan smiled bitterly, and said: "But this matter, I have to come up with a way to take care of the fortifications before I can tear down this city wall, otherwise, Your Majesty will not be able to approve it, and I have to find some experienced generals to ask first." ”

After waiting for a while, they met a sensible person, and Guo Dan and they cut into the city.

"Uncle! Uncle! ”

As soon as he entered the city, he heard a burst of excited shouts, and saw Xiao Chenchen waving his hands and running over.

Guo Dan hugged the kid and snorted, "Okay! Your kid has hard wings, and everyone runs to the suburbs to pick me up, but your kid saves trouble and stays in the city to beckon. ”

"Uncle, the villain is really wronged!"

After all, Xiao Chenchen was messing with Guo Dan, and the grievances on his face really made people can't bear to blame him, "The villain also wanted to go to meet his uncle, but suddenly a Jiangnan scholar came, saying that he saw that his uncle had to recruit talents, so he wanted to come to our Weihui Mansion to find something to do." ”

"Scholar?"

Guo Dan expressed skepticism: "Really? Will scholars take the initiative to come to us to find something to do? ”

Xiao Chenchen said: "It's true, the villain may be short of money when he sees that scholar, and when he sees that the money given by his uncle is high, he wants to try his luck." ”

"How do you know?"

"He can't even afford to live in the worst hotel in our Weihui Mansion, and now he is mixed in Lanming Temple, helping those monks teach their children to study and eat."

"How old?"

"Twenty-somethings."

is so young, has no experience, and does not know mathematics, physics and chemistry, and has a dead stomach of learning, and has a ball. Guo thought to himself.

I heard Xiao Chenchen continue: "It seems to be called... Oh, Xu Guangqi, from Shanghai. ”

"Xu Guangqi... Xu Guangqi? ”

"Well, it's called this, does my uncle know me?"

Isn't this a historical celebrity? It seems to have made quite a contribution in science. Guo Dan thought hard about it, and then said, "Bring him to see me." ”

"Huh? Appear... Now? ”

"Of course not, it depends on when my master Chen is free." Guo said with a smile.

“..... The villain will go, this will go. ”

Xiao Chenchen's face was flushed, and he disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

Stinky boy! Guo Dan scolded secretly, and then said to Zhou Feng and the others: "Everyone, let's talk about it at dinner, I'll do something first." ”

Zhou Feng sighed: "I said that the virtuous nephew, just a scholar, as for the importance of it, let's take the wind and wash the dust for you first, and the wine and food are all ready." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it's more atmospheric to eat at night."

"Okay then, you go first, we'll wait for you in the Golden Jade Tower."

"Why not in the Drunken Sky Tower." Cao Da wondered, "I also prepared wine and food." ”

Zhou Feng puffed up his eyes and said, "If it's free, you have to fight with me." ”

Oh, my God! Not again! Guo Dan rolled his eyes in distress and said, "I'll go over first, where to eat, you must inform me." ”

"Of course, it's the Golden Jade Building."

"Why?"

“.....！”

Guo Dan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and left straight away with his guards.

His office is in a small courtyard of the Chen Family Hotel, although the most luxurious residence in Weihui Mansion is the Hot Spring Pavilion, and now Zhu Yihua and Xu Jirong are not there, but Guo Dan has no such plan, he can't work there, and the cost is too expensive, there is no need for this.

When he came to the small courtyard, Guo Dan first went to take a bath, changed his clothes, and just got out of the bedroom, he saw Xiao Chenchen walking in with a white scholar.

"Uncle, this is the Xu scholar from Shanghai. Brother Xu, this is my aunt. Xiao Chenchen introduced with a flattering face.

Guo Dan looked at it slightly, "Wow! So young? ”

Xu Guangqi was stunned, this is exactly what he wanted to say in his heart!

He never expected that the fierce man who contracted the first mansion turned out to be a businessman younger than him, which was really shocking.

He can't even eat enough now!

It's really more popular than people.

After being stunned for a short time, Xu Guangqi hurriedly bowed, "Under Xu Guangqi." ”

"In Xia Guo Dan, it's okay if you call Guo Tongsheng, and Captain Guo can also do it."

Guo Dan was very perfunctory, and invited Xu Guangqi to the house.

When he came to the hall, after Guo Dan sat down, he waved his hand casually and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you."

Xu Guangqi was sitting upright, this young man younger than him made him feel a little nervous.

Guo Dan, who came out of the college entrance examination, of course knows that Xu Guangqi is one of the few scientists in history, but as a businessman, he always sees interests, unless he is a famous woman, he may take a few more looks, if a man is a celebrity or not, it doesn't matter to him, he has the ability, such a young Xu Guangqi, he is really not very optimistic.

After Xiao Chenchen served tea, Guo Dan asked casually, "Did you come here to apply for a job?" ”

"Yes."

"Why?" Guo Dan said: "I heard that you are a scholar, shouldn't you go to the imperial examination?" ”

Xu Guangqi was silent for a while, and said: "Don't hide it from Your Excellency, I came here to apply for a job, mainly because my family is in the middle of the road and my life is more difficult, so I came here to make a living." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "What kind of job are you applying for?" ”

"Agriculture."

"You're a scholar who knows how to farm?"

"Because my family is poor, I have helped my mother plow the land since I was a child, and I am more familiar with agriculture."

Guo smiled lightly: "Then why don't I go to find an old farmer, I think the old farmer must be much better than you." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "What Your Excellency said is good, but the old farmers can't solve the drought in Henan Province. ”

Celebrity is all about being different. Guo Dan asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "I think that this person is invincible, God does not rain, praying to God and worshiping Buddha is useless, if you want to improve the drought, first of all, you must build water conservancy, manage the river, no water, no matter how good the crops can not be raised, there is also to cultivate better, more barren crops." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I also understand this truth, I just can't do it." ”

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly, took out a small cloth bag, slowly unfolded it, and saw a few seeds inside, and said: "This is a seed given to me by a businessman friend from my father, it is a seed called sweet potato, I have planted it in the backyard of my family, and I found that it is more resistant to barrenness and easier to grow than most crops, but I have just started to cultivate, and the harvest is still ... It's hard to say, but according to my observations, as long as the cultivation is successful, the harvest should be higher than that of wheat and rice. ”

"Sweet potato?"

Guo Dan frowned slightly, and said, "Can you let me see?" ”

"Absolutely."

Xu Guangqi cautiously handed the seeds to Guo Dan.

Guo Dan took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Xu Guangqi, stood up again, tidied up his clothes a little and said, "I'm really sorry, I still have to go to the appointment, let's talk about it here today." ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he couldn't help but look depressed.

I heard Guo Dan say to Xiao Chenchen: "Xiao Chenchen, you take twenty taels for him first, and then help him arrange a room." Sorry, I missed you. ”

"Huh? Oh. Your Excellency walks slowly. ”

Xu Guangqi looked confused, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

When Guo Dan went out, he looked at Xiao Chenchen in confusion.

Xiao Chenchen said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Xu, congratulations to Brother Xu, follow my aunt in the future, but you won't have to worry about running out of money." ”

Don't he dare to say it, he dares to guarantee this.

Xu Guangqi suddenly turned his worries into joy.

Over there, Guo Dan went out, and suddenly his expression changed, and the corners of his mouth raised: "This time it's really developed." Ha ha! ”

He actually did it on purpose, so he was not in a hurry to go to the appointment, but he knew that geniuses were very arrogant, and he was a businessman, so he wanted to suppress Xu Guangqi's arrogance.

PS: The two-in-one chapter, it's gone in the afternoon.
